New York Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been a system of healing for over 200 years. In that time, it has proven itself to be a powerful healing modality for acute and chronic health conditions.

It seeks to resolve a problem, not just manage it. As a healing modality it has been used to address a wide range of health conditions.

The following demonstrates a partial list of the broad range conditions addressed by homeopathy: environmental sensitivities, respiratory conditions, skin problems, headaches, digestive issues, pain, fatigue, chronic stress, sleeping difficulties, auto-immune and neurological conditions.

Homeopathy is a healing modality that views the person as a whole, so the physical, mental and emotional conditions are considered together.

Homeopathy uses natural substances from the animal, mineral and plant worlds. These various natural substances are prepared into homeopathic “remedies” by homeopathic pharmacies. The most common form for the remedies are as small white pellets, which are easily dissolved in the mouth.

As a healing art, homeopathy has a long history of use in the United States. The first homeopathic hospital was founded in the late 1800’s. By the early 1900’s there were 22 homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals, and over 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies.

New York Medical College, Boston University and Stanford University were among the educational institutions teaching homeopathy. Then, in the 1920’s, many of the schools closed – mostly due to the decline in homeopathy’s popularity which was greatly effected by the American Medical Association.

It was also at this time that pharmaceutical drug companies began releasing drugs that were administered easily, a trend that additionally contributed to the decline of homeopathy. Today, homeopathy is experiencing a resurgence of interest in the US as peoples’ awareness and desire for a better quality of healthcare grows.
